Tentative keep. According to the only source in the article, he was convicted of a "pyramid scam worth hundreds of millions of kronor" in 1988. It also says he was involved in the theft of a Munch painting a few years later. It also describes him as one the wealthiest men in Norway. If these are true (and we have no reason to believe otherwise), one would presume that he must have been the subject on significant coverage in reliable sources. A GNews search confirms this, although the sources are mostly non-English. Pburka (talk) 01:04, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There was as Pburka says significance media coverage of him. Some of it can be seen with an internet search, but there are many more sources in printed media from the pre-internet age (1980/90s). Here is what Nationen wrote after his death: "The Fashion king, playboy and deceiver was Norway's biggest yuppie, he was the incarnation of the 80s."

Keep - passes WP:GNG, not because of one event (like the original PROD rationale claim), but most of his life has been covered in reliable sources.
